...already reached the crucial relation, for it remains only to think of the quite well-known theorem that the sum of the squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to twice the square on the median to the third side plus one-half the square on the third side: XY2 + XZ2 = 2XW2 + YZ2.... | |

...and conversely," should be omitted. It does not relate to any subsequent proposition. I would omit, "The sum of the squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to twice the square of half the third side, etc. ; the difference of the squares, etc. ; the square of the bisector of an angle of... | |
